When we think of peace and tranquillity, times were we can just relax and enjoy ourselves we will find that most people think of festive times, holidays and celebrations, all having food as the centre of the event. Since food is such a good medium to bring people together why not use food as a method to deal with conflict resolution.

Our project is a training course that will look at conflict resolution from a unique perspective, trying to identify the core roots of conflict in different countries and then trying to find solutions for these conflicts by further researching the roots and origins of our foods and cultures so show that we have a common and shared history and that in some way or another we have influenced each other’s cultures and therefore have more in common than we think, we share something that we love, so why can’t we learn to love each other in the same way.

We will look at the origins of the foods we call our own, identify each ingredient and its origins and see how history has allowed us to cross paths and how we can pace the future for a peace by building bridges of understanding and sharing.

We will share stories from the past and build on cooperation for the future, identify weaknesses and find ways to strengthen and support each other, we will identify conflicts and find solutions to support peace and harmony.

Our project will research the roots of our cultures and bring us together as people of the world to promote peace and cooperation in a unified world using food as the glue that bonds us, culture and the bridges that connect us and understanding as the road to future cooperation and prosperity.

The people in this project will explore conflict resolution techniques as well as building bridges with EU countries and neighbouring countries.

The outcomes of this project will help youth organisations to build on the knowledge gained during the project to develop activities in their countries to help resolve conflicts and bring people closer together.

We see an increase in diseases like obesity, diabetes and even cancer in youth. We even see young people suffering from heart disease and disorders normally associated with adults. Most of the causes of these diseases in youth are as a direct result of unhealthy lifestyle choices. We hope to create greater awareness of the problem and give youth workers the tools to help more young people make healthier diet choices and also include some form of physical activity into their lifestyle choices.

We will examine the dietary choices that young people make and the factors that influence these choices. We will examine cultural elements associated with diet and also economical and habits. We will also look into the daily routines of young people to establish how young people could incorporate some physical activity into their lives. Together with a healthier diet and some physical activity we hope to shape the lives of young people to include a healthy lifestyle and therefore allow young people to live healthier lives and reduce the amount of diseases and illness seen in young people today.

The main issues to be address in this project is to examine the reason for the lifestyle choices that you make and to explore ways to make changes in these choices to reflect a healthier lifestyle without making drastic changes in their lives or making the process difficult resulting in young people opting for the easier unhealthy options. The main idea is to inform young people of the choices allowing them to understand the short and long term effects of the wrong choices and to give them the knowledge and information to make the correct choices. We will look at healthier alternatives to junk food and also allow for traditional foods and customs to be upheld while maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

What are the elements that make our parsonal product (selves) be better than others? No, this is not a comparison although competitiveness arises strongly from the employment area in EU. "Sell yourself" to the employer and you we have a great oppurtinity to be employed. This project will "cook" each persons characteristics and abilities to see hands on skills that eventually will help the self promotion and better the chance of employment. Making CV's, motivational letters, personal interviws, attention grabbers and general soft skill application on ways to make employability easier.

Daily life becoming difficult day by day because of the global crisis, this makes it easy to make the wrong choices. So as society is trying to find the quickest and easiest solutions for everything today it is eventually affecting our lifestyle choices and especially on choices that concern our health.
